lyrics

i’m from brooklyn, vandal bedrock, scandal bedlam, broken burnt up
new ny speak, new speak true speak, universe dirt, burnt to loose leaf
bomb the casba, bring the bleeders, sanity fist fuck such allegiance
born a trashman, grew in garbage, mutant hostage, do the knowledge

i see you all regardless, i know what lies are like
i might have been born yesterday sir, but i stayed up all night
i see you all regardless, i know this times a fright
we may have been born yesterday friends, but we stayed up all night
right?

i’m a young man, i want happy, we deserve that, dream collapsing
i’m just one man, so dam angry, true confusion, scared what truth is
hydrofoils, hide ya face, say hi horsemen, highest stakes
high again, well how ‘bout that, well how the fuck else can i react?

i see you all regardless, i know what lies are like
i might have been born yesterday sir, but i stayed up all night
i see you all regardless, i know this times a fright
we may have been born yesterday friends, but we stayed up all night
right?

el you’re too preachy, you don’t reach me, right and wrong’s hard, you say easy?
look they made me, i was normal, on some rap shit, up rock back spin
pause, collapse then, back to windmill, innocent thrill, so old fashioned
we’re all deranged, i’m no different, i wish my hope still existed

run the blades, nexus six shit, life span program final digits
you’re my daddy, you’ll protect me, i need guidance to live correctly
i cant fight you, feed me ether, i’m your servant, you’re the teacher
yo what the fuck el?
oops so sorry, that’s the implant talking for me

i see you all regardless, i know what lies are like
i might have been born yesterday sir, but i stayed up all night
i see you all regardless, i know this times a fright
we may have been born yesterday friends, but we stayed up all night
Right?
